The Political Compass
Democrat or Republican? It's easy to ally yourself on simple left-wing and right-wing terms, thanks to the powerful duopoly that the two parties have on our country. There is more nuisance to politics than linear right and left thought. Politicalcompass.org is a great site that independent thinkers and voters should check out. Take the test and see which quadrant, based on a combination of social and economic views, you most identify with. Then compare your analysis with current presidential candidates, world leaders, and historical figures. There's even a reading list based on your specific political taste.
